and each of them had one major city, philadelphia, as you said, the largest city in the nation with all of the 40,000 people. so one of the things that martha, washington, i think, frankly found, not all together to her liking was the fact that she was uprooted from the agricultural, rural, life at mount vernon that she knew and had been born in to. that she had mastered in many ways and relished. and it is only the latest chapter of her sacrifice, which in the own way, i think you can argue matches anything that her husband sacrificed. >> that's true. she didn't want to go to the city. she didn't want to live in the north. she wanted to be home at mount vernon. but she had to be there with her husband to do what her husband wanted to do. she gave it up. but the thing that made her unhappy was the discover once she got there that washington had consulted with john jay and james madison and john adams, they had decided that the president could have no personal life. that any entertainment, any going to visit people, any having people in was in fact a public act. they couldn't just go han

the sad real city i've listened to many republican senators who are not going vote for chuck hagel come up and talk about how important it is to fill the position. the north koreans detonate nuclear devices this week and raise concerns over the part of the world and beyond. we know what is going on in the middle east in syria and other places. we still have 68,000 plus american soldiers who are literally risking their lives while we meet in the comfort and security of the senate chamber in afghanistan they are risking their lives and we are saying, well, we would like to appoint a secretary of defense. we have to make a political point here today. we have to vote against him today and put off for ten days. we may reconsider again. god for bid something awful occurs. i hope doesn't. there are still good people at the pentagon. i'm sure they'll do a good job. we should have that secretary of defense. one of the most critical appointment in the president's cabinet filled. the notion we have to make a political stand here and stop chuck hagel today to make some political point troubles me.
